The dust has settled at Elite Gaming Fest, and we have a champion!
50 players descended on Bloemfontein on 1 August 2026 ready to battle, grinding through 6 grueling rounds of Swiss before the field was cut to a Top 8 single-elimination knockout. By the end of it all, only one player could claim the title.
Rishay Naidoo emerged victorious crowning our second Capetonian champion, piloting a Blue/Yellow Nami (OP-11) deck with precision and consistency throughout the entire event. Coming into the Top 8 seeded 3rd after a 5-1 Swiss record, Rishay proved that the bracket is where champions are made.
